MOSES LAKE — Tickets are still available for Brews & Tunes Saturday, the Downtown Moses Lake Association annual blend of music, beverages and fun, according to DMLA Executive Director Mallory Miller.
Brews & Tunes will feature 14 breweries, cideries and distilleries hosted at 16 locations around downtown Moses Lake, according to the DMLA’s website. In addition, there will be a beer garden set up at Sinkiuse Square.
This year’s music will be arranged differently from years past, Miller said. The DMLA has arranged for three bands to perform – The Boyz at Skaug Bros. Carpet, Lake City Blues at Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Gary Mann Realty and American Honey on the main stage at the beer garden. In addition, some participating businesses will host musicians of their own choice.
Tickets are available at the DMLA website: $40 for individuals or $65 for a couple, according to the website, and come with seven tasting tickets, a customized five-ounce tasting glass and a tote bag. There is also a VIP ticket option for $65 per person, which includes the same as the regular ticket but also a full-sized drink at the beer garden and a VIP-exclusive tasting glass. VIP ticket holders also get to start the event an hour ahead of everyone else.
There will also be tickets available at the door, Miller said, for an additional $5 each. Online ticket sales end at midnight Friday.

Hayden unveils Give as you Go community support program
REDMOND, Ore. — Hayden Homes, the Oregon-based builder behind more than a dozen Moses Lake housing developments, announced recently that it is pledging $25 million in charitable giving over the next four years through its Give as you Go initiative. “It always kind of bothered me when my friends’ companies would be like ‘Hey, it’s Christmas, so we should give back,’” said Hayden Homes CEO Dennis Murphy. “And as silly as it sounds, the thing in my head was, ‘Why’d you take so much in the first place?’ If you have to stop and give back, doesn’t it make more sense to just not take as much and give as you go?”

Samaritan raises money to bring doctors to the Basin
MOSES LAKE — The fourth annual Bourbon & Bowties fundraiser raised more than $350,000 April 24 to bring more doctors to Samaritan Healthcare. “The population in our hospital district is large enough that we’re about 22 primary care physicians short,” said Roberta Bigalk, executive director of the Samaritan Foundation. The solution Samaritan is working on, Bigalk said, is a partnership with the Elson S. Floyd College of Medicine at Washington State University to bring physicians to the Columbia Basin to do their residency. Starting in 2029, Samaritan hopes to bring four or five new resident doctors a year. “The hope is that they come here with their families,” Bigalk said. “They spend three to four years, and they want to stay here because they love the rural community.”
